Still, I know an expansion won't change the core problem with the game. They keep repeating they have a certain " design" for D3, but for me this design doesn't work. They would mainly have to change the skill system and the drop system: two huge core aspects of the game which currently have 0 depth. And since I know they are trying to appeal to new gamers, those changes won't be in the expansion.

I will buy it can't wait for the story and new content hope they don't add lvls and paladin that would suck i like to see necromancer come back with an army of skeletons(edit: a small army that moves in formation and uses tactics). or demon summoner would be cool. the wd is really cool and all but it need an army of up to 10 at least but at all time! you could give every class like a 5min cooldown skill or things like alowing barbarian to wield 2 2handed swords would be insane give wizard an ultimate storm ability and the monk seventyseven sided strike^^. Maybe like a quest specific skill that all classes get! like using diablo's powers or smtn :o awesomeI'm counting on you guys blizzard!

I'm afraid myself and most of my former Wow addicts, annual pass members etc are also of this mind set.

As soon as Activision introduced the RMAH, the entire focus of this supposedly LOOT based game shifted to botting / scamming / flipping ah items etc as there is no reasonable way to LOOT end game items any more, or even enough gold to BUY them at the ah!

So no, sadly I mourn the loss of the once mighty Blizzard North dev team and Brand Blizzard and feel only loathing and contempt for Mr. Kotic's (Activision) greed, putting revenue generation and income streams over gaming excellence...

Stop the communist talk. You ALL will be in line at any midnight release, be that standing before a shop or sitting in front of your screens.

it is time people realise the AH is just an extra you don't even need to use if you don't want to.

If its an expansion that essentially brings D3 to the quality that was expected, then no I wont buy it. I will just quit. There is no chance that I will paying for an expansion that will bring the game to the standard so many players expected from day 1 of the original release.

I have also noted how painfully slow these (minor) patches are, as well as how they are drip feeding the community with them, instead of fixing the core things first. Like improving monster density in acts 1, 2 and 4.

Yeah why do they pile up all the fixes in stages and then roll it out all at once, why don't just patch it weekly and then give the patch notes what is all fixed.

No, even let us anticipate the patch like they did with the game info pre-launch. There is no use in hyping a patch, and screw the PTR just launch it already and fix things later.
